How to change IMEI number of sm-M205F/DS (Without root) - Samsung Galaxy M20 Questions & Answers

Hi experts,
this is Abdullah here from Pakistan. I need your help, I've "sm-M205F/DS" and I want to change its IMEI number (without root) is there any way?
Because i want to keep it non-rooted.
Thanks in advance.

IMEI repair tools will do the job without root and loss of data. Just keep in mind that you shouldn't update the binary of your device or you'll end up with a modem version that's not supported by most of the tools as of yet.

@AbdullahZubair Thread closed!
Change of IMEI is illegal in quite a lot of countries, and in turn we don't allow discussion about or support for changing or editing of IMEI's.

My first post -Unlock your TILT-

Here is my first post I obtained the code from AT&T, this does not require any loading of software.
Needed:
1.) SIM card other than AT&T, with no puk code or pin #
2.) code 55397951 (may be IMEI specific)
*warning, if the code does not work, do not try again, the phone will be permanantly locked after 5 trys.
If successful it will say Unlock code passed.
Enjoy,
Usually..... it's IMEI specific.....
Welcome to XDA!
This code is IMEI specific . That being said, there are free tools for unlocking the Tilt available on this site .
When you have a moment, read up on the Kaiser Wiki (linked in my sig). It will teach you all that is necessary for customizing and modding your new toy.

I guess that you need to learn to read then? I know the search engine is down at the moment, but that shouldn't stop you finding the Index and reading some of the highlighted threads listed in there.

He coughs, while still failing to provide aforementioned guidance
Ok here goes:
Use the toolbox.
Follow the instructions to the damn letter, nobody but you is responsible for anything that happens to your phone.
Unlock your bootloader, get CWM or TWRP recovery on it ( I prefer CWM but it's pretty much personal preference. )
After you complete these 2 steps, flashing new ROMs and kernels becomes a trivial process.
Once you get that done, copy the latest Vanir build (and optionally; GAPPS package) to your internal or external card, boot into recovery by holding volume down and power button until the LG logo comes up, then let go.
First, wipe data/factory reset, then wipe cache.
Choose install zip from SD card, then choose sd card or external sd card depending on where you put it, navigate to the folder and select it, flash it.
Follow the same procedure for the GAPPS package.
Press back until you hit the main menu, and select reboot system.
It will take longer to boot for the first time, it speeds up after that.
Congratulations, you should now be running Vanir.

The OP has been a member for almost as long as you have. I treated him with courtesy and was polite. The best thing we can do with new members is make them search and read so that they understand what they need to do and why.
When I joined I didn't ask stupid questions - I searched, read and learnt because with my HTC DS if I got it wrong I would have hard-bricked the phone and not been able to fix it.
XDA is not a helpdesk for noobs, that needs to be remembered in the middle of all the social correctness that is now going on. If people are too lazy to try and help themselves they deserve nothing, just as in real life.

Hit the 'Thanks button' For every person who helped you out here.. It's the way we say thanks instead of posting it, and you are right Q&A should be seen as a 'helpdesk' in xda, and some users feel the need to post anyway..
If you haven't got anything nice to say, don't say anything at all
I'm glad you sorted your phone
Will request for the thread to be closed as issue is solved and the tutorial is clear for other members to use when they search!

Before you try to get this thread closed I feel the need to reply to the arrogant tossers who feel they have a right to ignore the rules. By my reckoning Rule # 1 of the XDA Forum Rules beats #2.5
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.

This place is becoming full of people who claim to have searched - when they simply have NOT. If they can't afford to risk their phone because they need it every day then they should either be certain what they need to do - through searching, reading and learning - or they should not risk their phone.
I repeat "XDA is NOT a helpdesk for noobs". For the OP to tell me to "learn how to respect people" - what does he think I have done over the last couple of years? The answer to his question was out there simple to find if the OP wasn't so lazy. If he doesn't have time to search and read then the same basic rule applies - he doesn't have the time to risk damaging his phone.
FFS people - it's not rocket science and it's not difficult. We don't need yet another tutorial for people to read - because they will continue to be lazy and refuse to search and read. In 6 months time you will still be replying to the same basic questions just because human nature dictates that 90% of the members who sign up here expect to be given the answers without having to do any work themselves.

1) Reported for WHAT exactly?
2) I'm 2.5 times your age - so you might wish to reconsider and redefine some of your terms of reference.
3) Using big red letters doesn't make you look any more impressive.
4) FWIW I don't actually have a problem with you - other than the fact that you seem to be determined to assist in this stupid belief that anybody should simply be able to sign up to this site, ask stupid questions without bothering to help themselves, and not contribute anything at all. You seem to be intelligent, switched-on and a lot better at developing than I have ever been.
Since the OP's question has been answered....

Can I just draw this to people's attention
I don't normally report stuff - but this isn't the only post this guy has done regarding IMEI stuff on this forum. Another post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...lease-help-t2879602/post55507346#post55507346, here again with a Samsung http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/help/q-sm-n9005-null-imei-problem-please-help-t2877136, again here http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/help/htc-one-automatically-reboots-process-t2875721. All to name but a few
Asking how to change IMEI stuff isn't only violating rules, it's illegal
Seems to me this guy is constantly putting posts up about "broken IMEI's" which sounds extremely fishy to me

Question [CLOSED] Replacing the complete Bootloader of the device?

Hello.
I want to ask, if it is theoretically possible to replace the original bootloader of the phone with a generic one for the SOC (Snapdragon 732G)
How exactly does the bootloader work, and is it part of the ROM?
